Abrasive Cutting (SABRE)

The Claxton SABRE abrasive cutting system is proven to simultaneously sever all the casings in a well, regardless of casing loading, eccentricity, or annuli contents.

Proven technology - SABRE has proven an invaluable tool and has seen successful use on some of the most significant abandonment campaigns. SABRE's abrasive jet exits the tool at transonic speeds - making light work of even composite materials such as cemented casings.

Low Impact - Using a jet of naturally occurring cutting components (garnet, water and air), SABRE has a low environmental impact. The system can be deployed from a vessel or platform, allowing simultaneous abrasive cutting of multiple well casings without impacting adjacent infrastructure.

Benefits of SABRE:

  • Casings can be cut  and recovered simultaneously or individually
  • Can cut down to 6.5/8" applications
  • Internal or external cutting applications
  • Modular system footprint can be adapted to wide range of applications / deck layouts
  • Cutting manipulators available to suit all standard casing sizes.
  • Packer system improves cutting performance
  • Proven on numerous successful campaigns
